50 dead and 53 injured as 'Islamic extremist' launches worst mass shooting in US history AN 'Islamic extremist' launched a killing spree at a gay nightclub in Florida leaving at least 50 dead and injuring more than 53 others - the worst mass shooting in American history. . Orlando is now in a state of emergency after the gunman, identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, opened fire in the club before exchanging fire with the first responding police officer on the street. He then returned to the venue and took hostages, before finally being killed when a SWAT team burst into the club and rescued 30 people. The FBI spokesperson said: "Do we consider this an act of terrorism? Absolutely, we are investigating this from all parties' perspective as an act of terrorism. "Whether that is domestic terrorist activity or an international one, that is something we will certainly get to the bottom of. "We do have suggestions that the individual may have leanings toward that particular ideology. But right now we can't say definitively." A senior FBI official added the gunman had "leanings towards Islamic extremism." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/06/12/shooting-orlando-club/85785254/
